The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Seamour and Gerte Shavin House on Chattanooga’s Missionary Ridge is for sale for the first time in the property’s more-than-75-year history.
At 334 N. Crest Road, the home was commissioned by newlyweds Seamour and Gerte Shavin in 1949 and completed in 1952. Owned by the Shavin family since then, it is now listed at $1.6 million.
“As the only residence in Tennessee designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this home holds extraordinary architectural and historical significance,” listing agent Sandy Poe, with Alliance Sotheby’s International Realty, said in an email. “Its rarity gives it undeniable prestige and makes it a true collector’s property.”
The Shavin House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 and became the only property in Chattanooga to be designated a local historical landmark in 1995.
“The architecture is simply unparalleled,” Poe said. “Wright’s seamless integration of architecture, nature and timeless design creates a true masterpiece.”
